We stopped for gas on the way home from BikeMo yesterday. The gas station is on a popular bicycling route (but not on the BikeMO route). I'm 90% sure the attendant is NOT a cyclist, but he could recognize a cyclist, because he asked me how far I'd ridden. He's not exactly Sherlock Holmes--my bike was on the car, I was wearing bike shorts and a cycling jacket. :P Still, he knew the right question to ask, and he was friendly about it, so it's clear that here's one person catering to the automotive industry who gets that cyclists supports the economy!

Not to put a damper on this, but my creep alarms are going off just a little teensy bit.
The way you were dressed would be evidence that you were out on a bike ride that day.
Him knowing that you were car-free could mean that he's seen you out and about, noticed you cycling at least more than once.
Not a bad thing, in and of itself, but, I don't know. If the later is the case, I would be a little wary if you see him around again.
I could be wrong. I'm a weirdo magnet, so I'm probably just jaded.2001 Cannondale R500 <3
